Britpop was at its most triumphant. The Beatles were back in the charts. Take That had split and Oasis were sewing everything up…

Fast-forward 15 years and Universal Records are releasing Ocean Colour Scene’s ‘Moseley Shoals’ as a deluxe version with two CDs featuring original album track-listing plus selected demos and b-sides. Ocean Colour Scene will be touring in February and performing ‘Moseley Shoals’ in its entirety (dates below).
